InBerkeley, a short-lived hyperlocal blogging experiment that started this summer, has now officially come to an end. The site saw 429 posts during its several-month run, but announced on Tuesday that it would be shutting down.
One of the founders, Dave Winer, goes on to explain in an interview that his experiment didn’t work out quite as well as he’d hoped, and his personal interests have moved on. But fear not—Lance Knobel, another founder of InBerkeley, has already begun Berkeleyside, which looks to us to be exactly the same quite similar to InBerkeley.
Nonetheless, we’re sad to see InBerkeley go, since it’s always nice to get a perspective on this town from people who live outside the two-mile radius surrounding UC Berkeley’s campus. We’ll admit we’re not sure precisely how the new site is intended to differ from the first, but here’s hoping it can still fit that bill.
